"Celebrate"

My inspiration came from chevron/zig zag design on the comforter in the last photo. The colors of turquoise, white and taupe were a perfect match to some paper in my stash. The taupe cardstock base helped to pull out the muted shade in the patterned paper. To stay with the paper theme, I used my zig zag circle and banners dies for embellishing. I also added a foliage stem cut from the taupe cardstock along with some pearl dew drops. To finish the card, I wanted to use ric rac since it was part of the challenge theme. The flower is made of two lengths of ric rac that are pieced together to form a circle. I found a tutorial on You Tube to help with making it.

Oh, gosh, I didn't realize you'd made the flower from ric rac. That is just too clever and pretty! You sure matched up the colors and design with the inspiration photo, and did it beautifully, as always!
